Check Out This 3D Nexus 5 GIF

Mmmmhmmm, pretty.

Is tomorrow the day? A typically reliable source tells us that it should be. Then again, this is Google we’re dealing with here. Don’t forget to join us tonight live tonight on the DL Show as we discuss it all!

He says the display is average. That is not a good thing. Thank you for the info.

Dan

I have zero interest in the device.

Steve B

I have zero interest in your comment.

Dan

The why are you commenting? Loser.

Guest

Why are YOU commenting, if you have zero interest in the Nexus 5?

Steve B

Grammar. You should try it sometime.

Jeff

Although it is unrealistic to think this will ever find its way to Verizon. I am glad I added a line for my mother in-law and gave her my GNEX. I had to upgrade during Verizon’s unlimited data glitch, so I am happy with my Moto X FOR NOW! Hopefully, by the good graces of god the Nexus 5 will make it to big red. If not I am ok with the X. Unless the Moto G is the Moto version of the Nexus….daydreaming is a huge issue for me..lol

Chippah

Also, DO NOT BUY from Google Play. Unless you want endless pain and frustration unless they have fixed their major problems with shipping, customer service. etc.

envoy510

If not Google Play, then where??

Chippah

I would bite on the N5 but I feel “burnt” by Google on the last 3 nexus devices

I have owned accessory and performance wise…

Your SOL if your on Verizon, However it wont be long until

the LG G2 (the Nexus 5’s sister) will get straight up AOSP Kitkat.

Now.. If the Devs get safestrap/loki on the VZW Note 3 then we all get the best of both worlds. Note 3 + KitKat=

I’ve switched to using Dolphin browser (as It’s one of the few which types correctly and handles Discus correctly on this site (other Discus forums work fine). But anyways, it looks very tight if you take the Nexus 5 wallpaper and set thst as your theme ontthe Browser.. Just saying.

Chippah

Check out Maxthon its come lightyears from what it once was years ago. – lighter than Dolphin bloatwise and much faster.

HarvesterX

I wasnt plug going any browser. I just noticed with the “5” N5 wall papersset as the the me everything looked totally sweet. Haven’t used Maxthon since buy in the G2 so I’ll give it another go based on your review.!

2.) The Nexus 10 probably isn’t getting refreshed for while. We haven’t seen anything from the FCC and leaks are practically zero. It’s somewhat possible that the government shut down delayed it. Or I think they can get away with a mild exterior design refresh without needing FCC approval. Maybe.

3.) Lol. Same as Nexus 10 but even less likely. Maybe next year as a Nexus 7 refresh. Zero info except a recent odd FCC filing from LG or something.

Brendan Owens

Curse you Google for releasing 4.4 the day before my huge Pre Calc test and the weekend of my “no electronics” retreat.

el oso borracho

It does beg the question – Moto X-level customization aside, why don’t other manufacturers at least let you choose among their existing phone and back colors? Mixing frequently looks great.

Wait…where’s the speaker grill on the screen side (the one you use for calls)? I wonder if they shifted to using the bone-conducting earpieces in an effort to keep the front ascetic clean.

Noel

Speaker on the bottom on either side of the of the micro usb port. The white looks good but would have been even sweeter if it was all white, front and back

https://www.facebook.com/aaron.williams.125 Champion1229

I mean like the speaker you use to make calls (when holding the phone to your ear), the one that is usually above the screen and next to (or under in the case of Apple) the front facing camera.

joejoe5709

There’s a teeny tiny circle that is supposedly the speaker. It is a little odd.

bassman418

Looks kind of thick……

Good_Ole_Pinocchio

Yes, that is what she said.

Adam Truelove

Is anyone else concerned that the camera sticks out a bit? Why would they do that?

badluckguy

After weeks of trying to wait I went ahead and bought a different device tonight. With that said I guarantee the N5 will be announced tomorrow by the time I check DL because that’s the type of luck I have. So you’re welcome everyone! You’ll be able to order tomorrow. Life just wanted to make sure I’d lose my patience and buy something else first. Enjoy your Nexuseseses!

Connor

Did this reliable source mention anything regarding the Nexus 10 2.0?

chris125

Well probably will last for about 10 minutes before it goes haywire like every other google product launch. I can’t wait to hear all the whining and complaining about how people couldn’t get a nexus and how google is so bad at product launches.

Guy Meatdrapes

…..

joejoe5709

I mean no offense, but this was only funny the first 15 times. Same goes for the other pics. Please find a new funny pic for my own sanity. Thanks.

JRUIV

some things get funnier and funnier every time

HarvesterX

Unfortunately though with the except RARE occasion here, they don’t. On the otherhand though, I caught myself laughing uncontrollably at some of them.

Liderc

Man she’s a beaut. Die Verizon die.

Bionlc

Don’t worry, you’ll forget all about the nexus once the Moto G is announced.

Liderc

A cheaper Moto X? No thank you. I don’t even like the Moto X, I doubt I’d like a cheap version of it.

Bionlc

Not cheaper. Remember the Nova I told you about?

trwb

Chevy Nova?

Steve B

Super Nova?

A.Miller

Sure. Is that going to be released before Thanksgiving?

http://www.droid-life.com Kellex B

Wait, Bionic lives?

blackjaguar25

No, that’s BionIc. Close to him, but an imposter nonetheless.

http://www.droid-life.com Kellex B

Fake Bionic is fake. Damn.

blackjaguar25

We all miss him so much.

Bionlc

Unless I was the first Bionic, and Bionic was the imposter

blackjaguar25

Shh. That’s enough out of you for one day.

A.Miller

When announced?

Adam Truelove

Nexus fans don’t care about other phones. We’re similar to iPhone fans. The Nexus represents freedom and pure updates straight from Google. Also the Moto G is going to be a budget Moto X isn’t it?

AbbyZFresh

And that’s why Nexus fans are WOAT.

ddevito

Yeah, except for that Galaxy Nexus….whoops.

Adam Truelove

I don’t care if I never get a signal again, I’m done with Verizon in December.

trixnkix637

This phone teases harder than Miley Cyrus in a music video…

AbbyZFresh

YOU ACTUALLY GET AROSED BY THAT VIDEO?

joejoe5709

Ditto. She’s disgusting inside and out. The wrecking ball video was mildly “entertaining” the first three times I saw it, but she’s really nothing more than a famous crack addict begging for attention. Gross.

This might be the best gif I have ever seen.. haha it fits so perfectly. I literally did this before scrolling down to the comment section.

OG Droid

I thought it was appropriate for this post.

Antonio

I hope this Nexus 5 POS is better than the Galaxy Nexus POS that couldn’t hold a signal. Unforunately, the 5 is even uglier than the GNex.

Philip J. Fry

Here, let me call this phone a pos on the internet but I’m secretly going to buy it anyways. Trololololo

michael arazan

Just imaging him saying, “GD POS!” as he throws money at the screen

David Nguyen

Lol!!! Love this gif!!

NexusPhan

I’m calling it now. KitKat’s Google+ page tomorrow is going to post something along the lines of “today is the day” but it’s only going to be referring to Halloween and candy and nothing to do with Nexus or Google.

DodgerDroid

That’s sexy as fudge!

TeeJay1100

Yup it’s surely coming tomorrow!!

Jpx

PRON. NSFW.

Brian Menius

I just got my NeoHybrid today. I think the form factor of this phone is going to be about perfect. Let’s DO this!

Zachary Wood

What type did you get? I ordered the clear back case and a gold sided case.

Was thinking the same – the thickness and bezel look very similar to the Lumia 928’s, which feel like you’re carrying around a brick.

HarvesterX

In al seriousness, this render looks more off than usual. LG is making it, and they crammed a LOT in the G2. Granted though, the extra width could be from not having a custom made internal battery that wrapped along the phone’s innards to keep the width down.

But really, I’m happy if the phone is awesome and feels comfortable. Thikndoesnt always equate to a better experience. LG will get it right though. We aren’t talking about Samsumg (though the GNex was beautiful, but I have both right next to each other this second and there’s no competitio. .

NexusPhan

It’s not. I feel like the dimensions are perfect. Thinner than Nexus 4. It feels a lot like the Nexus 4 and a little wider and taller than the Galaxy Nexus but that could be because it’s not nearly as rounded. I’m basing this all on the Spigen cases I ordered which I already have. Not the best comparison but it’s a really, really thin, sleek phone (case).

4g63mark

I LOVE Spigen cases. Ordered 1 for my G2, and had 1 on my GS4…… BEST CASE OUT!!!!!

p0k3y

It’s the black front on white back that makes it look thick. That just did it for me – definitely getting a all-black unit.

michael arazan

Love the black and white

HarvesterX

The N5 could be an inch thick and I’d seriously doubt it would prevent anyone from buying into this.

kevin_gee

My Og Evo 4G was twice as thick as the nexus 5 and it got the job done back in the day, Im pretty sure people arent choosing phones because they are .01 inches thinner than other phones.

napes22

That’s what she said.

Sent this to my pals over Hangouts – GIF support is sweet

Josh Carroll

APK or GTFO.

toolate

Meh. There comes a point with hype and leaks that you almost don’t want the thing anymore. Just gonna get a G2 and stick with Verizon unlimited.

Ian Smith

but… it’s so close

Buur

I’ve never understood this sentiment. “I wanted this thing up until I saw too many leaks of it and now I am not excited.”

interstellarmind

Seriously. You can’t wait 5 days or so?

Whatever, though. More Nexus for the rest of us.

NexusPhan

What?

geedee82

How much is verizon paying you people?!?

d-rock

I’m over it…couldn’t wait, bought a G2….best phone eva!

Ian Smith

wtf is wrong with you people! it’s so close… i can taste it

grumpyfuzz

tomorrow is supposed to be the day, but not completely confirmed

Adam Truelove

The Nexus 5 is a souped up G2, with good software, and not stupid button placement.

joejoe5709

I love this phone, but how is it souped up? Smaller screen actually helps performance versus the G2, but that’s about it.

Justin W

I’m pretty sure you covered all the bases. Oh, the buttons are in a not-unexpected-or-considered-weird place, but I’m pretty sure I’d like the buttons on the back over the location of them on my GN3 (way too high up for my hands)

chris125

It isn’t souped up at all. Same processor, lesser camera, lesser battery. Only thing is stock android. I wouldn’t call that souped up by any means.

Well we all know how reliable benchmarks can be. But that still isn’t souped up since it is the same internals.

Adam Truelove

That’s true. Still, better software can make a world of difference. Of course, you can always just put an Android ROM on the G2 instead of the garbage LG puts on it.

HarvesterX

Though this I agree with, and why I Run CyanogenMod on it. Sorry to sound has in last reply..

ddevito

Ouch.

HarvesterX

LG doesn’t have stock Android no but calling it crazy means you are just following the here and have never used it. No, you haven’t. Google would he wise to implement much if what LG has done in their UI. Anyone who has known me since my OG DROID days knows thst I am all AOSP. Example, I hate Apple and dilike iPhones, but the hardware in the latest 5c is outstanding. You better bring a well presente Arguement to the table if you plan on backing up thst absur d statement.

Im about to go to sleep, but seeing such idiocracy grinds me. You’ve never used a G2 (if so you wouldn’t have said what you did). I was reading that up to 33% of those writing or comments based on products do so without ever using them and just to do it. Its soñé kind of the ill for them. Same goes for reviews in the PlayStore, etc. The LG UI isn’t gorgeous by and any means (though it can be after, customizatíon) but its a night and day difference when compared to TouchWiz or any other UI (Blur being the example of how its not as its essentially stock Android. Most I know even use the stock launcher (or would) except you cant change folder icons.
La
Think before postíng, be considérate of other devices and their advantages,
, do your home work and if you have nothing useful or humorous etc to say, sometimes its best to not say a word. And yes I’ve been up to false clima and statements regarding many devices not just the G2

d-rock

souped up G2? I think the G2 is a souped up Nexus 5 actually I already have my buttons fixed thanks to devs. I actually love LGs launcher and menu/settings. It’s very much like stock with some sensible improvements. The only thing the G2 will NOT have out the box is KitKat. I have my Nexus 7 for that and hopefully LG puts out an update quickly!

d-rock

Oh and if the Nexus 5 doesn’t come with a 3000 mah battery, it’s definitely no better. I get 30+ hours of battery life out of my G2 on light to medium usage and a full day easily on medium to heavy usage.

trwb

Definitely getting the oreo colored one

http://rootzwiki.com/news Max M.

Do you think the white will get discolored? That’s the only thing stopping me from getting the oreo.

trwb

Yea it most likely will. I am going to see if I can get a clear case for it though.

michael arazan

or get some clear gloss coating, air spray gun for models. Protect the color and still see the same finish. Just an idea till we know how it feels and see it

trwb

I am starting to lean towards the black model now. I can always get a white case. The front not being white is kind of a deal breaker.

Matt Laney

You get an up vote for the 8 bit Megaman avatar.

trwb

Thanks!

HarvesterX

Same here

Guest

No one cares about the phone anymore – we’ve got all the details.

I love me some KitKats though

JRUIV

You are going to need a rake for all those down votes

Captain_Doug

You’ve got my shovel.

Justin W

Make it a plastic one and you’ve got a deal!

afunyunyunyunun

you have my bow

Mort

AND MY AXE!

ManBearPig618

lmao

Mort

Another Southern Illinoisan on my droid-life? That’s unpossible.

Brian

Curse you Verizon

http://www.gorecording.com/ Nicholassss

I caved and got the G2. I think its as close as we’ll get this time around.

Brian

I caved and got a Maxx on release day. Great phone, but it’s no Nexus 5…
